Good morning Metaphor fandom, I am heavily absorbed ((I am right near the end of the game as of making this)) and I am deeply, deeply attached..
And so I give you this, that took hours across two/three days to make!
I care for those two so much, they make me experience emotions therefore I must grip them like a child to a squishy ball..
My Beloveds,,
@chipper-smol and @crow-cap watched me interact with every single object in Vaugarde for 2 hours straight
(honorable mention @payasita who couldnt make it this time but hopefully next time ^_^)
(ACT 4 SPOILERS) Decided to be silly and wanted to post some sprite/ portrait Mirabelle redraws that I did for the ICAC Au!! Under the cut will be artists notes and the Speedpaint process:
GENERAL ARTISTS NOTES:
I wanted to capture the vibes of the original Mirabelle attack sprite that’s in game, but also add my own twist on it rather than just copy the exact pose verbatim. Since the original pose that the sprite is based off in game is paper/ healing I wanted it to have a sense of seriousness to it
I changed the craft sign with the hands to be both paper and scissors, since she’s a dual type and I think that the vibes of “just attack” in the original game is to go all out and not hold back. Whatever is the most efficient and quickest way to brutally take out your enemy.
This is also why the the sparkles and effects around Mira is different: She’s using both paper and scissors so she’d have the FX for both in her attack portrait.
I changed the expression to look more serious (shadowed face, the circles within circle eyes is a reference to the fact her eyes go in a spiral when she defeats the king in the canon game of ISAT.
For anyone new to the Au and didn’t catch the design details beforehand: in the ICAC au Mirabelle was the one to lose the eye protecting Bonnie from the sadness instead of Siffrin! She has a eyepatch made by Isabeau and it has the change symbol on it. Her hair usually covers the blind eye in most sprites barring few exceptions ( certain parts of act 4, Act 5 and act 6 etc.)
She also has a sharper/ pointier bow in comparison to canon isat Mirabelle. This is mainly because I noticed the pixel sprites for Mirabelle the bow looks very sharp and pointy in isat but the sprites themselves are rounded, so I thought it would be neat to play with the shape language of the design and make the bow sharper in the portraits as well
Aaa, that's wonderful!! Thank you!
Drop your f/o (1 maximum please, but can be romantic, platonic, familial, QPP) and I’ll tell you what they give out to trick or treaters! :)
There was a small giggle in light of the Paripus’ long winded sigh of acceptance. She couldn’t help it.
“Thank you.” Myra said with a soft smile, though another giggle nearly slipped past her defenses. “And I won’t send you to bed unless it’s absolutely necessary, I promise.” She placed a hand over her heart, as if it were some Healer’s honor. “If you’ve gotten proper care, then this shouldn’t be more than a couple minutes, I’m sure.”
Next was to answer the question of where to do this inspection. "Um..." And with that came a pause, as she mulled over the options. There weren’t too many places without eyes on the skyrunner, and getting the soldiers to leave a room would be more hassle than it’s worth. She’d have an easier time wrestling a Kokasados.
The Ishkia debated on moving to the medical room, but…There likely were other people in there, too. Ugh, they’re everywhere..
Lifting a hand up to rub the back of her neck, Myra let out a sigh of her own. “If you want the least amount of eyes…One of our quarters would be the safest bet.” She suggested with a slight awkwardness to her tone. So long as no one sees them, it should be fine..! No possible rumors, surely.
A long sigh escaped the paripus upon realizing this was a battle he wasn't going to win. Even if he did get past her now, she knew where his quarters were, and would likely be able to sway Basilio onto her side.
In hindsight, Fidelio should have figured word of his injury would reach her with the brothers' return to the Charidus. Though that also likely meant the rest of the ship's inhabitants also had gotten word. Great.
❝Fine . . . Ya can take a look, bu' I've already had plenty of care. An' don't ya go suggesting bedrest or I'm gonna lose me bloody mind.❞ A hand came to rest on his hip as his tail swayed behind him. ❝Where are we doin' this then? I'd rather i' be somewhere with less pryin' eyes.❞

Hi! I'm Sunset. I'm an artist, writer and occasional roleplayer. I'm a multi-fandom hyperfixator, so you'll see a little bit of everything from me! Though 9 times outta 10 I'm a lurker, so don't expect too much. Runs @myra-the-ishkia.
